Notes The order of introduction for the letters has been chosen to help the student hear the sounds, say the sounds, and blend the sounds into words. The first letters introduced are continuous sounds, such as fffff, zzzz, and mmmm, that can be held indefinitely when pronounced. After the continuous sounds have been studied, the letters that cannot be held, such as t, c, and p, are introduced. The introduction of b and d are near the end of the sequence, and they are separated, with five other letters introduced between them. This sequence is also used in the handwriting book available from Sound City Reading. These books are designed to be used together. After completing both of these books, the student should be ready to begin the short vowel workbook. Use the Apple Game to reinforce the letter sounds as the student works through this book. Small sets of picture cards are available for sorting by beginning sounds, ending sounds, and medial short vowel sounds.
